While congratulating the Indian team for their efforts to qualify for the world championships, the CFI and the sports ministry should be walloped for not allowing the Indian team to use the bicycles imported for the CWG 2010 and the world class velodrome built at a cost of Rs.350 crores.

What a shame!

Whatever achievements we get to hear of, are in spite of the Government. How stupid is it to lock up bicycles and force the riders to represent the country on their own comparatively low tech machines? I wish we had more sports persons in charge of sports in India.
